<p><span style="line-height: 20.8px;">However, although they do happen,&nbsp;accidents are rare.</span></p>

<p>According to the IAAPA, a trade association for permanent amusement park facilities, the chance of an injury occurring in a park is 1 in 9 million with the chance of fatal injury about 1 in 1.5 billion.</p>

<p>The Batman ride through Gotham City has had two&nbsp;deaths associated with it.</p>

<p>In 2002, a groundskeeper was killed when hit by the leg of a passenger as they passed by.</p>

<p>Also, in the summer of 2008 a 17-year-old boy&nbsp;was killed when, having lost&nbsp;<span style="line-height: 1.6;">his hat, he&nbsp;climbed over the railings to retrieve it and was hit by the coaster</span>&nbsp;killing him instantly.</p>

<p><span style="color:#000000;"><strong>The Ride: The Big Dipper</strong></span></p>

<p>In 1972 Britain saw its worst amusement park tragedy.</p>

<p>A wooden rollercoaster at the park was one of its most iconic attractions but<span style="line-height: 1.6;">&nbsp;in 1972, the rope that carries one of the cars to the top of one of the steep climbs on the track snapped.</span></p>

<p>The chains of cars then went falling back down towards the start and&nbsp;smashed into a wall.</p>

<p>Five children died&nbsp;and 13 adults were injured.</p>

<p>The Mindbender is the world&rsquo;s largest indoor triple loop&nbsp;rollercoaster.&nbsp;In 1986, the last car then disengaged from the track, swinging wildly behind the remaining carrages, flinging passengers&nbsp;to the ground.</p>

<p>As the remaining cars attempted to climb the steep last loop, it stalled and began flying backwards &ndash; losing control and crashing into a concrete pillar.</p>

<p>Three people were killed, and one seriously injured.</p>
